Geelong rorting the system

[Meteoric Rise]

I'm glad you finally made it to the accurate observation, that your team isn't special

Our team has set itself apart from others, but not for that reason.

This thread is about the Cats rort network though, so people don't want to be reading details of how a humble club from the inner south east of Melbourne courageously overcame all sorts of unfair barriers to register the last ever dynasty.

When we meet you in them again in half a millennium we’ll remember to get upset about it. In the meantime the rest of the competition can have at it.

Yes of course, you only posted a thousand posts in the Dusty GOAT thread because someone reminded you to get upset about what he and Richmond did & kept doing to Geelong.

Yea that’s what it was. It was being upset. It’s why I keep doing it in Hawthorn threads as well. Not everyone takes this stuff as life and death seriously as you do, I’m sorry to tell you. Some people just are interested in talking about it.

Makes you wonder how much money we were paying kents in brown paper bags for the AFL to come down on us when they let s*** like this slide on the daily for the Cats?

Just another chapter in the 'Geelong follow a different rule book to the rest of the league' series. Every person down in that backwater marsh knows about the property deals and pubs, add Cotton On and now this and it's just beyond laughable.

It's also common knowledge around the Geelong area that Zak Butters will be coming to us as a free agent when his contract expires at the end of 2026, not sure yet about whether or not he'll become a Cotton On ambassador though.
However, given we're the only club to have traded for free agents (not once but twice), we'll probably be nice enough to entertain and facilitate a trade for him.

Just like ur also getting Reid... And TDK... And you were getting Oliver this year... Good luck finding a spare 10 first rounders for them when their clubs match the offers.

Not sure we can fit TDK in to be honest. Pass on our condolences

Reid and Cadman will be wearing the hoops in the near future.
Oliver was a bullet dodged, similar to the likes of Hopper, Watts, Stringer, Deledio and Frawley who all wanted to come to us.

Sorry forgot about Cadman. Make it 12 first rounders

It's OK the suns will pass them on for us

You’re talking as if you traded for the free agents out of the goodness of your heart when everyone knows you were forced to because their former clubs matched your bids. Don’t try and make out that you are such good guys because we all know you’re not.

Even the media are questioning it now.

Why should we care about what's best for other clubs? It's about what's best for us.
Crows and Giants should be thankful they received more than end of first round compensation picks, given the fact Dangerfield and Cameron were free agents we should have been entitled to getting them without having to pay anything in terms of draft or player capital.

Its happening again

The cats are not what they seem

 

[Elixuh]

What are they questioning? What’s “it”?

Have you read the thread title old boy?

Rorts.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It’s the ones like a Finance company which seem a huge stretch.

Is it though?

"Geelong's recruiting boss Stephen Wells and football chief Steven Hocking haven't yet seen Harvard Yard, but the Cats hierarchy has an unusual affinity with the world's most celebrated business school. Geelong president Colin Carter completed a two-year Masters of Business Administration at Harvard. Carter encouraged Cook to take on the executive course and has coach Chris Scott signed up for the same "authentic leadership" course that Alastair Clarkson did; Geelong's heads of media and Human Resources, too, have done short, sharp Harvard courses."

Think in the end Cook, Carter, Lloyd, Hocking and Scott have completed courses at Harvard business school, and he was already doing work for Morris. This is just the formalisation of partnership already in place.

And TBH if he were to quit coaching this is the type of corporate world gig I could see him getting full time.

Ask and you’ll shall recieve

OUR NEXT LOOPHOLE!!

Except he’s got one of the most demanding full time jobs already. How can he do two jobs unless one is a fake one with a real pay check?

Take off your Geelong googles, it would be corrupt if it was a politician or high up public servant doing it. It’s not a good look and Geelong are basically flaunting the Soft cap now in plain sight.

Jealousy a curse the AFL loves us as they keep signing off on these “corrupt “ deals

Maybe they are not corrupt at all

I have a hard time believing that these posters truly believe the shit they write and lack that much critical thinking …surely they are just trolling to get a reaction

Right?

Lol, funny how armed with all this cutting edge knowledge the only gig Scott could get as a leadership and performance chief was with Geelong's sponsor, and he seems to have been appointed sans a competitive process.

Can someone please point out the outrage when Adam Simpson miraculously received two Hungry Jacks franchises?
